I can kind of understand that one. It seemed like they were just trying to appease (or appeal to) a certain demographic.
Phil Jimenez suggested bringing Donna back as Latina.
You know what? I could dig that.
Exactly. The Flash Family always been welcome in the hood.

I don't really know if that was a shit storm. I think Moore is firmly in "old man yelling at cloud" tier for most people nowadays.

I know people are kind of sour on it but I enjoy the DC Earth One line, yes, even JMS Superman. I hope we hear some more news from Geoff Johns/Gary Frank and Grant Morrison/Yanick Paquette about their prospective titles soon.
I liked the JMS Superman story, it wasn't my favorite but it was enjoyable.

I just read Volume 2 and it was pretty good. I like a Superman who is unsure of himself and still figuring out his limitations, it makes for some good stories.
Also, I like the focus on Clark. I usually like the drama of the secret identities more than the super heroics.
People would still bitch because it wasn't Wally and claim they replaced Wally to serve an agenda or something.
So no.

Man, how terrible is the Mojovision episode of the 90's X-Men cartoon? So bad. Was the comic arc as bad?
For what it's worth, I enjoy much of the second season of the show. Great and fun, if rushed- storytelling.

Earth One came out at an awkward time since it was telling origin stories in a new universe at the same time the New 52 was skipping origin stories in a new universe. Johns' Batman was okay but i didn't like JMS' Superman vol 1 and 2, probably not going to continue with supes but i'd pick up another batman volume.
I sure would like to know what the hold up on WW Earth One is. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like it's been in the works forever.
Even as a kid, I could never get into that show. I feel like I'm the only kid who didn't care about the X-Men.

Oh man, I used to watch that all the time when I was a kid. I remember when Pizza Hut was giving away the VHS tapes. XD
X-Men Evolution and the Wolverine & the X-Men animated series both ended up being better, though.

I posted earlier about creating a Pull List Ranking for ComicGAF, if your interested please feel free to post what you will be pulling for next month. You don't have to include issue numbers and if a title double ships only count it as one. Please don't include titles that don't have a new release for that month (Ex. Zero does not release next month) and TPB's or HC's. This is just a way to find out which titles are the most popular in GAF.
Here are the solicitations for next month:
Marvel Comics
DC Comics
Image Comics
Dark Horse Comics
IDW Comics
Valiant Comics
Dynamite Comics
BOOM! Studios Comics
Archie Comics
Please quote your pull list and group them together by publishers:

I think it was down to Paquette getting the art done.

Claremont's Mojo/Longshot stuff, drawn by Art Adams, are by far some of the greatest comics ever published.

they had sex in the car. It better have been some magic shit. WTF @ Cassie cheating on Georgia. Really disappointing!
Morrison is sending his scripts piece by piece too, so that might not be totally true... (this better come out this year, Grant!!)

You're not going to remember Harley #1 in ten weeks let alone ten years
I honestly think that I will never re-read 95% of the comics I buy, I simply don't have the time or inclination. The way I see it, my money is paying for that first-read experience. My 20 boxes of comics could burn in a fire today, I'd probably only miss one box of that.

WTF man. Replacing a strong, ginger role model? What is the world coming to?
Also, no black man has ever been called Wally West.

They need to nring back Aztek. Morrison and Millar were the Hickman and Spencer of their day, both bringing out the best and covering the others gaping weaknesses.

My Legion Volume 3 package got here today and the seller included a handful of random, extra comics, including several issues of "Sovereign Seven". I had no flippin' idea what that shit was and had to look it up, especially since one of the issues had Power Girl and the other had Saturn Girl.
A Chris Claremont creator owned series set in the DCU? Lolwut?
I love that there are little random gems of history like this that I had no idea existed.

I only remember that series because back in the day in the DCU pages they had a pic from it of Darkseid sipping a cappucino.

One of the Power Girl issues has such terrible 90's art. PeeGee almost looks like she could be in a hair metal band, it's great.
Apparently when the series ended it pulled a massive Deus ex machina and said it was all just stories from a comic book.
The best part? It apparently crossed over with Pinky and the Brain?
This thread covers all comic books and there is plenty of non-cape related talk. But as far as I know there are only occasional non-cape focused threads devoted to a single series that usually last a handful of pages.

I don't think so, but if you want to start one then I'm sure it could get a page or two. We will talk about them though if you want. We're not all overgrown manbabies

Oh man yes, 90s PG was just... wut. Like some kind of S&M fitness instructor. Thinking about S7 has reminded me of those awesome 90s headband masks that everyone used to wear as well. Gambit writ-large as fashion icon.

Fashion is cyclical. Sounds like a niche just waiting to be exploited. Make the recommendation, Rafa, and rise to corporate heaven.
Now's your chance! The path to comics superstardom goes hand in hand with becoming a corporate superstar! Look at Charles Soule, successful attorney by day, and (secret) writer of every comic being published. Go big Rafa!

My Pull list for next month
As I make my montly pull list I realize it's going to be very different than most of ComicGAF's and I read a lot of DC.

I read entirely by trade but I want what I read to contribute to this pull list ranking thing since I do read a fuckton of books. Is anyone going to call bullshit on my participation if I go through the april solicits and list up everything I will read. I'll present it in the exact format as shown obviously. Otherwise there's no real way for me to take part. Yes, I don't truly read them monthly, but I do truly read the books the same as anyone else does, just down the road.

Donie plz. Don't pollute the sacred lists with your heathen trade pulls...
Of course you can. You could just make up a list of books you don't actually get and ain't no one gonna fact check you brah. The intent doesn't seem to be technicalities but a general overview.
We are brothers in arms.

The few. The Proud.
That would be Birds of Prey 28 and here's what it says in the solicits.
On a side note, how has Birds of Prey been? I love Black Canary as a character, but I haven't gotten into the N52 Birds of Prey. Even though I would kill for a Birds of Prey game using the Arkham Engine starring Black Canary, Barbara Gordon Batgirl, Catwoman, and Ivy. That's mostly due to wanting a playable Batgirl game.
Oh, okay, I take everything back.
Needs more Avatar and Zenescope stuff brah.
